This park was originally improved as a neighborhood recreation facility. However, the improvements were destroyed when the park was used as a staging area during the Panorama Fire. Replacement of the improvements is necessary before the park can be placed back in service. Without this facility, there is a shortage of recreational outlets in this neighborhood. Ade- quate recreational opportunities are required to provide a sense of well being in a residential area. Additionally, in California Public Resources Code, Section 5701, the legislature of the State of California has made the following pertinent findings: (b) Community, neighborhood, and regional parks, beaches, recreational areas, recreational trails, and other recreational facilities, and the preservation of historic sites and structures contribute significantly to a healthy physical and moral environ- ment and also contribute to the economic betterment of the state. (c) Many older parks and recreational facilities have deteriorated to the point where the original investment in them may become lost, and prompt action is necessary to restore them 'to useful ness. We recommend that a finding be made that the replacement of these improvements is needed for health and safety reasons. 11-19-87 75-0264
